Consultant
Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon
I’m
from the UK originally; growing up in London
where I subsequently studied medicine in
St. Bartholomew’s Hospital (Barts).
After a postgraduate training involving
General Surgery; original research and specialist
training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery,
I was appointed a Consultant Plastic Surgeon
in South East London’s Teaching Hospitals:
Guy’s, St. Thomas’ and King’s
College with a joint appointment to St John’s
Hospital for Diseases of the Skin within
St Thomas’ Hospital. I practiced privately
from the Harley Street Clinic.
I married a New Zealander and once we’d
produced two children, the decision to move
our family to New Zealand to raise them
followed. I am equally passionate about
my profession and my family and I now split
my time equally between the two.
I am:
A Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons
of England (FRCS)
A Specialist Intercollegiate Fellow
in Plastic Surgery in both the UK (ISB)
and Europe (EBOPRAS)
A clinical researcher with a PhD; 24
peer-review publications and an invited
author in Bailey & Love – worldwide,
the best selling postgraduate surgical
text book.
On the Vocational Register of the Medical
Council of New Zealand as a Specialist
in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
(MCNZ)
A member of the British Association
of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS)
An International Member of the American
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(ASAPS)
– serving on the international committee
since 2005.
My Consultant experience since 2004 spans:
Surgical treatment and reconstruction
after melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers.
Breast surgery – especially breast
uplift, breast reduction and breast augmentation.
Surgical rejuvenation after dramatic
weight loss – usually after patients
have undergone surgery to lose weight
after which they require specialized cosmetic
techniques; often applied in combination
to remove their excess skin and soft tissues
to improve both their appearance and their
self-esteem. These patients often have
multiple problem areas and because of
their stomach surgery, they also have
nutritional deficits which affect their
healing.
LASER; IPL and surgical treatment of
children and adults with pigmented and
vascular skin blemishes.
All aspects of cosmetic surgery and
appearance medicine (Botox™ and
skin and soft tissue fillers)
I am
driven to stay at the forefront of my specialty,
so I travel frequently to attend international
symposia and meetings, and to observe international
colleagues: learning what is new, what works
and what does not. Likewise I welcome colleagues
from NZ and abroad to visit and observe
my practice.
Southern Cross includes me amongst their
affiliated providers for skin surgery (Southern
Cross Affiliated Providers) and
I am registered with most other health insurance
providers.
